Son and Kane more of a goal threat as Mourinho turns to a two-man strike force

Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Arsenal

  • Goals: Son Heung-min (£9.6m), Toby Alderweireld (£5.3m) | Alexandre Lacazette (£9.2m)
  • Assists: Son | Granit Xhaka (£5.1m)
  • Bonus: Son x3, Alderweireld x2, Lacazette x1

Three days before the 187th north London derby, Tottenham Hotspur served up a display so bad that it made Premier League history.

Bournemouth had previously never managed to stop the opposition from registering a shot on target in 186 top-flight games but they achieved that feat with ease as the Lilywhites scraped a goalless draw at the Vitality Stadium.

The dire exhibition prompted a wave of Fantasy Premier League sales, with Harry Kane (£10.9m) and Son Heung-min (£9.6m) both transferred out by over 100,000 FPL managers apiece.

Son duly delivered his joint-highest FPL score of 2020 on Sunday and, while Kane blanked, the two premium Spurs assets were much more of a threat against the Gunners than they had been less than 72 hours earlier.

Son pounced on some calamitous Arsenal defending to swiftly cancel out Alexandre Lacazette’s (£9.2m) 15th-minute stunner and then turned provider for the hosts’ late winner, sending over a teasing corner that Toby Alderweireld (£5.3m) nodded home.

There could have been other/further attacking returns from Kane and Son.

The England international was thrice thwarted by the impressive Emiliano Martinez (£4.3m) when put clean through on goal, while Son had earlier failed to capitalise on a Kane cut-back when the pair broke at speed and then saw a shot blocked in the 86th minute as Arsenal’s defence parted.

The key difference between Gameweeks 34+ and 35+? Mourinho used a two-man attack.

Having been peripheral on the flanks since the restart, Son looked far more dangerous centrally alongside Kane.

In turn, Kane seemed less isolated up top and benefitted from Son’s pace and movement opening up space alongside him.

Before we get too excited about a possible return to form for the pair, it should be said that this was no gung-ho Spurs display.

The hosts were direct and had just 37.3% of possession (only three sides have seen less of the ball in Gameweek 35+ so far), with both of their goals owing more to Arsenal’s defensive shortcomings then they did to the Lilywhites’ own ingenuity in attack.

Mourinho’s switch to a 4-4-2 was also done as much to combat the Gunners’ wing-backs as it was to improve their own goal threat, as the Special One explained after full-time:

I thought I needed to give the team a different shape and to control that we would be in a better position to try to win the game.

They play with Bellerin and Tierney really wide and high, then they bring Aubameyang and Pepe or Saka to the inside. I wanted my back four to be focused on closing the central areas and jumping only to the wing-backs in special occasions. For that, I needed a sacrifice from Sissoko and Lucas.

Even then we had two targets in attacking transitions and to go on to change the direction of the play. With Sonny close to Harry I felt that we could have both, one coming more for the ball and being more a target man and the other making the runs and attacking the space.

So it was our strategy for the game but more important than that was the players. The mentality and the way they embraced the game and the rivalry with Arsenal.

Whether the Lilywhites can reproduce that display away at Newcastle on Wednesday is open to debate, with Spurs likely to see considerably more of the ball and not rely on counter-attacks as much.

It also remains to be seen if Serge Aurier (£5.1m) makes that match, with the dreadfully sad news emerging on Monday morning that the Spurs full-back’s brother had passed away in France.

Japhet Tanganga (£3.9m) made the bench at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after recovering from injury so could step in if match-fit, although Moussa Sissoko (£4.8m) is another option and Mourinho had previously mentioned that Gedson Fernandes (£4.6m) and Oliver Skipp (£4.3m) had been used at right-back in training amid the shortage of numbers.

As for Arsenal, four weeks of defensive improvement gave way to a bit of a shambolic display at the back, with Sead Kolasinac (£5.2m) and David Luiz (£5.7m) at fault for Son’s leveller, Shkodran Mustafi (£5.1m) in kamikaze mood and the Gunners again conceding from a set piece.

It’s harsh to criticise too much as this was a backline that had shipped just one goal in four league games prior to Sunday but there would have been some encouragement for owners of Liverpool’s assets ahead of their trip to the Emirates in midweek, particularly the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.8m) given that Arsenal were again undone by a dead-ball delivery.

Arteta discussed set plays after full-time, saying:

It’s one of them but in this league, it’s very difficult. It is part of the process we are trying to do. We will improve there and we know how important they are in big matches. We talked about it before the game today that set-pieces in this game are crucial, and today it cost us the three points.

The Gunners arguably merited a point and had chances of their own to win it.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m) may have blanked but there was enough here to reassure his Fantasy owners, with the Gabon international rattling the woodwork, forcing Hugo Lloris (£5.3m) into a fine flying save, sending a free-kick narrowly wide and uncharacteristically mishitting a Hector Bellerin (£5.3m) cut-back from close range.

Arteta said of his side’s display:

I am disappointed and frustrated and really sorry for the boys first, because the way they played today and the personality they showed today, to come into this ground and show who we are, to nullify the opponents and press them high, forcing them to kick the ball long and defend in a low block. That’s exactly what we wanted to do.

But obviously, if you give the two goals away that we have given against these players, it is very difficult to win a derby.

Sunday was also a reminder to Bukayo Saka‘s (£4.7m) owners that he isn’t yet ‘nailed’ in the Arsenal starting XI despite his fine recent displays, with Arteta benching the teenage prospect as he continues to manage him carefully amid the fixture pile-up.

A breather at the weekend may well ensures he starts against Jurgen Klopp’s side, however.


Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-4-2): Lloris, Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies, Winks, Sissoko, Lo Celso (Skipp 84′), Lucas (Bergwijn 82′), Son (Lamela 9o’), Kane.

Arsenal XI (3-4-3): Martinez, Mustafi, Luiz, Kolasinac (Willock 84′), Bellerin (Cedric 84′), Ceballos, Xhaka, Tierney (Nelson 84′), Pepe (Saka 70′), Lacazette, Aubameyang.

    A or B?

    A) Vardy > Jesus (FT)
    B) Vardy & Mahrez > Jesus & Foden (-4)

    Martinez
    TAA - Doherty - Saiss
    Salah - KDB - Mahrez - Fernandes - Pulisic

      A

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Mahrez to Foden.

  2. Deulofail

    The game was to name 3 players. 1 point for every time your players hit the woodwork in the PL this season, and 1 for every winner scored.

    https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/22097685

    The winner was Tony Martial with 28 points! Well done sir. That was the highest possible answer.

    1. TONY MARTIAL (28)
    2. ZIM0 (27)
    3. TOP LAD DAKES (25
    4. GREEK FREAK (23)
    5. STORMBRINGER22 (22) - Checks out
    5. WILSON007 (22)
    5. RAFA THE GAFFA (22)
    8. SQUITS (21)
    9. GERS23 (20)
    9. GARLANA (20)

    The best possible answer was: Rashford (5, 5) + any 2 of Jimenez, Mane, Salah (2, 7), Aubameyang and Firmino (3, 6).

    I was recently made redundant.

        Strange reaction to my redundancy

  3. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    KDB is so dull to own with his ownership levels these days. Feel the urge to force him out for a hit to Sterling.

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Because they made him 9.5. If he's 13.0, hopefully next season, people will think twice (I won't, he's locked in) but others may not want him for that price.

    2. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      I did on your advice last week, captained him also, cheers!

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Nice one - fortune favours the brave! I feel I may be a week late but need Sterling for those last three games even if he only starts two of them

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Or one?

          Squad plays at Watford too on Tuesday after Wembley.

          1. Miguel Sanchez
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Who knows, all i know is that with EO of 100% KDB is doing nothing to enhance my rank... got to do something different.

    3. Neo-Viper
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I am sailing on the same boat.
      Strong urge to actually do it for a Hit.
      Have only Jesus as the second player. Them next three fixtures are juicy.

      Should I?

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I will if you will

        1. Neo-Viper
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Let's start this trend.

    4. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think I’m going to do it mate

      KDB, Mahrez > Sterling, Dilva (-4)

      Screw it. I’m sitting just inside the top 30k but want to see if I can get anywhere higher.

      FH in 38

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Ha - you are one point in front of right now, but I should nudge ahead if Maguire, Ings and Martial outscore Greenwood

        Would you captain Sterling?

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Let’s be honest, you’ll do a lot more than nudge ahead!

          I expect my arrow will be v red tonight!

          I think I might cap Sterling and VC Puli but maybe that’s foolish!

  4. Orion
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Any suggestions lads? Was thinking of KDB to Pulisic for one game?

    Martinez
    TAA Doherty Taylor
    KDB Salah Sterling Bruno
    Greenwood Rashford Giroud

    Nyland Saka Lascelles Ward

    1.8 itb, 1 FT, only BB chip left
    Cheers!

    1. Mayor of Flair
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'd sit on KDB myself. Would sooner go Rashford -> Ings

      1. Orion
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I am thinking of Rashford to Ings and Saka to Pulisic for hit...?

        1. Mayor of Flair
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yep probably worth it

          1. Orion
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Cheers mate 🙂

  5. Earn your Spurs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    FA Cup Semi-finals this weekend.

    Man City have nothing to play for in the league now 2nd is secure so surely will keep their A-team for Saturday. Not that their B-team is bad.
    Chelsea have a lot to play for plus have 2 days extra rest before the Semi so will play their top team
    Man Utd have loads to play for but 2 days less rest than Chelsea so might start vs Palace with some players rested
    Arsenal need to go for Europa cup places and are playing Liverpool so need their full strength team so may have to gamble with the semi

    Thoughts please? 🙂

    1. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I mean Chelsea will play their top team in both league and cup

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Captain Vardy or Ings and be happy with a likely single goal return

    3. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      We aren't getting Europa League. I don't think our lineup will change that much from Spurs against Liverpool.

      Final will be Chelsea - Man City probably

      1. Robson-Canoe
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Chelsea? If by probably you mean like a 25% chance then yes sure, probably.

    4. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I don’t understand people worrying about Chelsea rotation

      4 full days rest and a must win game off the back of an embarrassing defeat

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yep - and Chelsea actually have 5 full days - Tuesday -> Sunday

  6. Keep Calm and Play On
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Vardy to Jesus
    Mahrez to Dsilva/Pulisic?

    For -4?

  7. Cheeto__Bandito
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    DDG
    AWB, Doherty, Alonso/Azpi
    Sterling, Dsilva, Foden, Bruno, Pulisic
    Ings, Giroud

    Thoughts on FH team?

  8. EL tridente
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    KDB and Jimmy to sterling and Ings for -4?

    1. timmmuh

      no way; hold

  9. Ha.

    I’ve had a look at Man City midfielders minutes, starts and rests etc to see if there can be any insight in terms of who will start/ who won’t (since restart)…and well there isn’t much there. Probably the clearest conclusion to draw from the data is that since the restart, no player has started more than 3 fixtures without being benched, these are:

    Mahrez (twice), Sterling (once) Rodri (once)

    The following players have started two fixtures before being benched:

    De Bruyne (twice), Gundogan (once), David Silva (twice), Rodri (twice), Bernardo Silva (once)

    Based on the “patterns” I would say:
    De Bruyne – highly likely to be rested (has played 2 games and hasn’t played 3 consecutive since restart)

    Mahrez – highly likely to be rested (has started last 3, no players has started more than 3 consecutive)

    B. Silva – high likely to be rested (last 5 have been start, sub, start, sub, start….meaning sub next)

    Foden – highlight likely to start (pretty much alternates between bench and starting)

    Sterling – high likely to start (given likelihood of Mahrez rest, Sterling’s likelihood of starting increases)

    D. Silva – likely to start (although his pattern is hard to determine, has played 2 games back to back once, but since then has been starting then a sub…if this pattern continued he would be a sub. However to contradict this conclusion, when KDB is rested Silva starts…So I expect this to continue and D. Silva to start)

    Gundogan, Fernandinho, Rodri – bit of a turkey shoot. But of the 3 I would expect Rodri and Gundogan to start

    For me, the least risk players for the coming GW are: 1. Foden, 2. Sterling, 3. D. Silva

    Most risky 1. Mahrez, 2. KDB 3. B. Silva

    Didn’t look into Jesus, but also expect he will start – he seems to have the position fairly well nailed.

    There are A LOT of assumptions here and the data set is small due to limited no. of fixtures since restart – and I may be looking for patterns that don’t exist, so if it back fires, don’t blame me…just thought I would share anyway

    …think I might captain Foden. Live by the sword, die by the sword and all that

      2. Magic Hamster
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    6. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Jesus has started 5 in a row (last 4 PL games + FA Cup)

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        This. You can't disregard the FA Cup fixture. It's relevant

      2. Cheeto__Bandito
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        6 in a row soon

        1. Beavis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          Only if Pep is planning on playing with a false 9 in the FA Cup, imo.

    7. Studs Up

      Its more about minutes than starts i guess
      Nice info tho'

    8. MOZIL
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      i dont think jesus and sterling will start at the same time because i cant think of anyone subbing in for them

  12. Ange Ball
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    decided Salah it is for Cap this week going with my gut this time like should done last gw taking out Salah/Pulisic for Antonio. City and Chelsea will make changes which could affect points. Salah going for golden boot and Arsenal defending is like clown trouser pocket.

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Good option, keeping mane for that reason.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      It could work - good luck.

      Might be worth treading carefully though - Salah's away form when Mane starts is

      3,6,5,3,2,3,6,2,3,2,2

      Now, as bad as Arsenal's defence is - bear in mind that the scores above include these fixtures - including Norwich, Villa & Watford:

      sou 3
      bur 6
      che 5
      shu 3
      avl 2
      lei 3
      tot 6
      wol 2
      nor 3
      wat 2
      mci 2

      By contrast, when Mane hasn't started his away scores have been:

      bou 12
      whu 14
      bha 18

      If Mane gets benched you should be good though

      1. Goonsquad245
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Nice sample sizes you got there

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yep - full 100% coverage of this season's away games apart from three

          I could also pull those three games in of course - but the 0 - 0 - 0 that Salah got when liverpool played away to Man Utd, Crystal Palace & Everton, would make him look even worse & probably a tad unfair considering he didn't play 😉

          1. Goonsquad245
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Feels kinda results-oriented to me

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              The results are pretty damning though right?

              Could just be coincidence of course & maybe he's about to haul away from home with Mane alongside him (for the first time in Liverpool's 17 away games to date) to redress the balance

              You could also look at the members area, but those underlying stats can sometimes turn into a bit of analysis paralysis

              That being said, if you load him up home vs away in the members area, on average per appearance:

              His XG is worse away from home
              His XA is worse away from home
              Less touches, less dribbles, less BPS performance
              Similar amounts of attempts, but less in the box

              But again - its the same sample size as the results orientated approach so not going to give you any more statistical significance

      2. Goonsquad245
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Also mane didn’t start nor I don’t think, came off the bench and scored if I remember rightly.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          You're right actually I missed that one - that's even worse for poor Mo away from home 🙁

    I'm a long way back in my mini-league but still have hope. I need points quick and Chelsea v Norwich seems a good place to look.

    Which would you do?
    a> Aurier -> Azpi
    b> Martial -> Willian or Pulisic
    c> Deeney -> Giroud
    d> 2 of these for -4 (which?)
    e> All 3 for -8 (who replaces Martial?)

    Thanks 🙂

    I get it for City, but I have seen people discuss Chelsea/United assets being rested ahead of the cup game.

    Top four qualification is surely seen as more important to the clubs?

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Think Utd will rest players in the cup if anything, rather than resting ahead of the cup

      1. ElliotJHP
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah absolutely agree

      2. Captain_Shirokov
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        same for chelsea

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah agreed - expect a bit of rotation in that Cup semi between United and Chelsea, but not before either side has secured a top 4 spot

    3. I Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Definitely. Winning the FA Cup would be nice but qualifying for the Champions League is much more important.

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think so yeah - money talks unfortunately

      There's a lot of criticism of how the FA Cup has devalued - Man Utd withdrawing from it the year after The Treble started the slide

      But if they really wanted to boost the cup's appeal again - offering the fourth champions league slot to the winner would overnight turn it back into a life & death competition

    Chasing ML rival by 30pts, both have FH left, both brought Vardy in for current GW

    Vardy to Jesus? Need a differential

    Henderson
    TAA Doherty Saiss AWB
    Salah KDB Bruno Sterling
    Vardy Greenwood

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yes good move imo

  18. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Does everyone think Sterling will start?

    Surely right?

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I do but people seem to disagree

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I think he will too

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years

      Only Pep and he know that.

    3. TorresMagic™

      Plenty don't.

    4. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think Sterling is rested and Jesus may be benched too.

      Imagine the scenes on here?

      Also risk at Watford too.

      Premier League is the squad and Cup A team.

    5. I Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Think he starts and plays around 60 minutes but who knows.

  19. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    130 points clear of 2nd in my ML, guy in second has Antonio & Fredericks which have been a bit of a differential this week.

    I still have Fernandes, Rashford, Ings & DDG left to play tonight so should make it closer to 140/150 points clear (if Utd perform)

    Would it be safe to say I've won?

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Congrats you’ve won

    2. Bubz

      Cheers guys. I like vardy but sheff utd seem to have sorted their defensive problems so could be hard to break down.

    Anything worth a hit - Aurier or Jimenez perhaps? I'm going to sell Lundstram before gw37 and BB so that is gonna be my FT next week.

      Triple captain him in gw38 instead

    2. Miguel Sanchez

      Yeah - surely 38 vs Norwich would be better

    2 FT, 0 ITB, advice greatly appreciated!

    Ederson
    TAA, Digne, Egan
    KDB, Salah, Sterling, Fernandes, Martial
    Jimenez, Greenwood

    (McCarthy, Basham, Lascelles, Nketiah)

    A) Jimenez -> Ings (save 1 FT, play Egan)
    B) Jimenez & Martial -> Ings & Pulisic (play Egan)
    C) Jimenez & Basham -> Ings & Tarkowski (play Tarkowski)
    D) Jimenez & TAA -> Ings & Azpi (play Egan)

    Wouldn't mind a Chelsea player for NOR but not sure about losing any of the mids, or TAA!

    Cheers..

    If Jesus doesn't start against Bournemouth, do you think he starts vs Watford in 37?

  29. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    If you were going to FH next GW, which would be:

    - The first coupe defenders you would put in your team?
    - The first couple midfielders you would put in your team?

    in attack I am settled with Greenwood and Ings, so I have loads of money for defenders and mids

  30. Captain_Shirokov
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Patricio
    TAA, Doherty, Kiko
    Mane, KDB, Pulisic, Bruno, Foden
    Rashford, Greenwood

    (Jimenez, Lascelles, Holgate)

    1 ft, 1.2 in the bank.

    Fairly clueless as to what to do, benching headache with that front 8. Wait and see how United do tonight I guess?

    1) Rashford to Jesus
    2) Mane to Sterling
    3) FH

    Thoughts? Massive benching headache also....

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Probably 2 so you have Sterling for the final few games. He may or may not repay the move immediately, but it should be a good move in general imo. Otherwise save

      1. Captain_Shirokov
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks, who would you bench in that case? Jiminez?
